Diana Dors biography, 10 pence.I don't think many outside the UK (or even in the UK) knows whoDiana Dors was.Diana was a famous English actress and had her peak in the 1950'sand 1960's and she was often called "the English Marilyn Monroe."I should also add that my handsome man was an extra in the two-part dramatisation The Blonde Bombshell: The Diana Dors Story.You can watch the dramatisation in parts here.

1960's lamp shade, £3.I looove lamp shades made out of plastic ribbon.This shade needed a lot of cleaning but it turned out great!Got this from the same guy who sold me the Hawaiian fabrics andthe pink lamps in the bedroom on Saturday.

I do for sure who the wonderful Diana Dors was! Wrote an article about her in a german magazine last year. Got a DVd-box with her movies, she's a true beauty and seemed to be quite a character in real life.

WHO IS MISS RASCAL?

I'm a Jewish dame from Sweden who got swept off my feet by a brown eyed handsome man (musician, of course) and ended up here in the UK almost 8 years ago. I'm obsessed with the 1940's
and 1950's, my home is filled to the brim with goodies from that era.
I design and create vintage style jewelry and accessories.
In my free time I'm a magpie, I really love scouting for vintage bargains. I do try to reduce my carbon foot print and spend as little as possible, therefore I rather buy vintage and second hand. This blog is my personal space where I write about my frugal lifestyle, finds and creations. Hopefully you will be inspired to do something creative too.
